I'd like to see a level, a sort of mixture of Titan and Conquest, in which an ISD hovers over a Rebel base. The Imperials would have to capture the Reb base (it contains something special, not worth destroying), and the Rebs would have to capture the ISD.

Both sides would start with a shield (ISD shield and shield generator like Hoth), which can be destroyed by bombers or cannons (the ISD would have its guns, the Rebs some ion cannons). The guns would be located outside the shields (for the rebs, actually outside, for the Imps, they would stick through the shield like in Titan mode), and can be destroyed be fighters/bombers.

Once the respective shields are down, both sides can use transports to invade the base/ISD (they could be used as spawnpoints), and they then fight through, taking first the hangar, then turret control room, then command centre/bridge (with other rooms interspersed). The winner is the first one to capture the bridge/command centre (or destroy it, either way will work).


So, the battle starts with some nice dogfights, with those less confident in flying able to man cannons. It then progresses into escorting and landing transports, then into infantry fights.

Problem: Star destroyers have a crew of over 37000 people so I cant realy see that as ignorable.

How can the rebels be expected to take over the star destroyer?

Maybe they could just destroy it from the inside.

Star Destroyers are INSANELY BIG.  Take a look at this - http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images … DNaboo.jpg

However, I do like the idea of this map maybe with something smaller like a Victory Star Destroyer that someone mentioned earlier.

Re: "Planet Invasion via ISD" level

How can the rebels be expected to take over the star destroyer?

1. They land a huge number of troops themselves.

2. The ship has been in combat and is not manned by a full crew. This is how the ISD map for GC was explained - the ship was bound for repairs and refitting at a shipyard and carried only a skeleton crew.

1. The rebels dont have that many people to spare.
2. This is about a star destroyer attaking a rebel base.
